The Family Friend: Sometimes The Danger Is Closer Than You Think

ISBN: 9780091912260
Author: Matt Lowe
Description:
Matt Lowe's childhood was outwardly idyllic. He was part of a large, loving family and lived comfortably on the Norfolk coast. Yet, unnoticed by his parents and peers, he was being abused by a young man who had been welcomed into the family fold...in the guise of the perfect family friend. Jeremy was intelligent, artistic and fantastic with children. A real-life Peter Pan, he was loved by the children and trusted by the adults. He was particularly fond of Matt and would organise outings and treats every weekend, just for the two of them. But from the start the relationship had a sinister side; one that Matt instinctively knew must remain hidden. Written with heart-wrenching candour, Matt's story is an unusually insightful and moving account of how one small boy endured many years of sexual and psychological abuse and how, without realising, those closest to him allowed it to happen. From the Publisher A true account of one boy’s sexual abuse at the hands of a trusted family friend --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. About the Author After completing college Matt Lowe worked overseas in education and social development. In his thirties he participated in an innovative community centre set up to counter the social isolation of mental health service users in the inner city. More recently he has provided support to young people in residential and other settings. This is his first book.
